Books like Heroine complex by Sarah Kuhn
Evie Tanaka is the diligent, behind‑the‑scenes assistant to Aveda Jupiter, San Francisco’s celebrated superheroine and Evie’s childhood friend. While expertly managing Aveda’s diva demands and even removing demon blood from her boss’s leather pants, Evie struggles with her own chaotic personal life, an unruly teenage sister, and her lack of self‑confidence. A night of masquerading as her glamorous boss reveals that Evie herself possesses supernatural abilities. From battling murderous cupcakes and gossip bloggers to facing supernatural karaoke contests, she must learn to stand up for herself and take charge. As a looming demonic invasion threatens the city, Evie must embrace her newfound powers and become the heroine she was destined to be, or risk the collapse of the city she loves.
